Don't buy into this "magic resolution" claim. Just because a particular
pattern (that has nothing to do with the variety of real images you will be
printing) prints "better" at a particular DPI does not mean there is a
universal "magic resolution" for every/other image(s).
The image that was "posted" only has black and white lines. Again, hardly
indicative of a normal photographic image. Personally, I believe this is a
very flawed test, and any conclusions drawn from it are only valid for THAT
very image, and are erroneous for any real photographic image.
